dma-buf provides a generic fence class for interoperation between
drivers. Internally we use the request structure as a fence, and so with
only a little bit of interfacing we can rebase those requests on top of
dma-buf fences. This will allow us, in the future, to pass those fences
back to userspace or between drivers.
v2: The fence_context needs to be globally unique, not just unique to
this device.

In order to keep the memory allocated for requests reasonably tight, try
to reuse the oldest request (so long as it is completed and has no
external references) for the next allocation.
v2: Throw in a comment to hopefully make sure no one mistakes the
optimistic retirement of the oldest request for simply stealing it.

Migrate the request operations out of the main body of i915_gem.c and
into their own C file for easier expansion.
v2: Move __i915_add_request() across as well
